Dolphin® 7900 Series User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (e) 9 - 17System TabThe System Settings tab controls logging and the port manger timeout period.Field DescriptionLog Level These settings control the detail of the log messages generated by the Client. Each level is cumula-tive. By default, all errors, warnings, and information events are logged. Each entry records a severity code (of one [debug message] to four [error] asterisks), a time stamp, and a message.•Errors - only the most severe conditions are logged.•Warnings - less severe conditions are logged.•Information - all errors, warnings, and information events are logged. This is the default setting.•Debugging - creates a log message each time the Client detects or reacts to an event. Be advised that log entries fill memory quickly if the Debugging level is chosen. Do not use the Debugging option for a significant length of time because most internal operations generate messages.Defaults Tap this button to return log settings to the default settings.Disable Wireless Zero Config Use this option only as directed by technical support.Selecting this option disables other wireless utilities whether the Client is running or not. If not selected, other wireless utilities cannot apply their settings to the wireless card while the Client is run-ning (although their status displays are usually unaffected). You will need to perform a soft reset whenever this setting is changed. Port Manager Timeout The interval at which the client polls the ports. This is used under different circumstances, for instance after physical changes such as card removal or insertion have been detected. This value should not be changed from the 10-second default unless so advised by technical support.
9 - 18 Rev (e) Dolphin® 7900 Series User’s Guide–PreliminaryServer TabThe Server identity tab defines the credentials the client uses to authenticate the server during TLS/TTLS/PEAP authentication message exchange. The Client uses this information to verify that the Client is communicating with a trusted server. Field DescriptionDo not validate server certificate chain If this option is selected, the server certificate received during the TLS/TTLS/PEAP message exchange is not validated.Certificate issuer must be This is the certificate authority used during TLS/TTLS/PEAP message exchange. Any Trusted CA is the default selection and means that any certificate authority can be used during authen-tication.Both trusted intermediate certificate authorities and root authorities whose certificates exist in the system store are available for selection in the drop-down list. Allow intermediate certificates This option is selected by default and enables unspecified certificates to be in the server certifi-cate chain between the server certificate and the certificate authority selected in the Certificate issuer must be field. When selected, this option allows the server certificate received during negotiation to be issued directly by the certificate authority or by one of its intermediate certificate authorities. If disabled, then the selected Certificate issuer must have directly issued the server certificate.Server name must be This is either the server name or the domain the server belongs to, depending on which option is selected below the text field.During authentication, this name will be compared to the server certificate’s Subject: CN field.Must match exactly When selected, the server name entered must match the server name found on the certificate exactly.Must contain domain name When selected, the server name field identifies a domain and the certificate must have a server name belonging to this domain or to one of its sub-domains (e.g., zeelans.com, where the server is blueberry.zeelans.com).Configuring the Port On the main screen, tap and hold on a port, and select Configure on the popup menu. The Port Settings Configuration screen opens displaying the Wireless Networks tab.
Dolphin® 7900 Series User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (e) 9 - 19Wireless Networks TabField DescriptionAvailable Networks Displays the networks the terminal recognizes as available to connect to. When the Client is first installed, there are no entries in the Available Networks list.Scan Displays a list of networks broadcasting their availability. You can also attach to networks who are not broadcasting.Move to Configured Activates after Scan has been tapped and the available networks have been retrieved. In the list of networks retrieved, select the network you wish to connect to, and tap Move to Configured. This selects the network.Configured Networks Displays the networks your terminal is connected to. This section adds and removes networks as well as reviews and edits the properties of existing configured networks.Default When the Client is first installed, there is a Configured Network named "default" in the list. This profile has Associate with any network selected in its Properties selection screen. If you are going to be in a location with only one AP (or more than one AP that attaches to the same network), the default profile may be sufficient for you needs, without necessitating the selection of a specific network or networks. If default is last in the list, it can act as a wildcard should you be out of the range of your primary networks (which are listed first). Do not place default at the top or middle of the list because, if it is, connection to the other list entries will never be attempted.Up Moves a selected network up one place in the list.Down Moves a selected network down one place in the list.Note: The order of the networks in this list is the exact order that connections will be attempted. The network listed first will be attempted first and so on. Place your primary networks first.Add Manually adds a network to the Configured Networks list if the AP does not broadcast its SSID or you are pre-configuring the client for an AP that is not currently in range. Remove Removes a selected network in the list.Properties Displays the properties of the network selected in the list. This button opens the same network configuration screen as the Add button does; use it to edit network configuration properties.
9 - 20 Rev (e) Dolphin® 7900 Series User’s Guide–PreliminaryProtocol TabThe Protocol tab configures parameters that apply to all the networks the selected port connects to.Field DescriptionProtocol Settings These are the timer intervals and retry settings defined in the 802.1X standard. They determine how long the supplicant state machine will wait in a given state. These parameters shouldn’t be modified without an understanding of the supplicant state machine. For more information about the supplicant state machine, obtain its 802.1X protocol specification. The parameters are:•Authentication Timeout - The period of time the Client remains in the authenticating or acquired state without receiving a response from the AP or switch. •Held Timeout - The period of time the Client remains in the held state after failing authentication. •Start Timeout - The period of time the Client remains in the connecting state before restarting when there is no response. •Number of Start Attempts - The number of times the Client restarts before giving up. At that point, the Client then defaults to the authenticated state, but there will be no network connectivity because the protocol exchange was never completed.Display EAP notifications Specifies that the EAPOL notification message will be displayed to the user. An authenticator may use such notification to inform you, for example, about a near password expiration. However, some authenticators send chatty and annoying notifications that may, for the convenience of the user, be suppressed. Note that all notifications are written to the event log even if they are not displayed.Renew IP address Initiates a DHCP request to obtain a dynamic IP address after a successful authentication, but only if the client detects that the connected network (the SSID) has changed. The result is that renewal should not occur upon re-authentication, but does occur at boot or when connecting to a different net-work. If you have a slow authenticator, you may wish to enable this option when configuring the service because a slow authenticator may prevent you from getting a DHCP-assigned IP address upon boot-up. This option is ignored if the given adapter has a static IP address.
Dolphin® 7900 Series User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (e) 9 - 21Configuring a Network ProfileTo configure a network profile, on the main screen, tap and hold on the port, tap Configure, then tap Add. The Network Profile screen opens displaying the Profile Info tab.Note: The settings on these tab windows are interrelated. This means that selecting one may disable access to others.
9 - 22 Rev (e) Dolphin® 7900 Series User’s Guide–PreliminaryProfile Info TabField DescriptionNetwork Profile Enter the name of this record. This is the name that appears in the Configured Networks list and, by default, is the same as the broadcast SSID. Note that there is nothing special about the name "default". You could configure any other record similarly and it would behave the same way.Network Name This is the SSID of the AP. If the AP broadcasts its SSID, then this value may be derived from the Avail-able Networks list. If the SSID does not broadcast, then you must manually enter the value here.Peer-to-Peer Group Select this option to have two or more client workstations communicate with each other without the ben-efit of an AP. You should also select Do Active Scan and, in the WEP Management page, enable Use key for data encryption while entering a common key for both sides. WPA is not supported in this mode.Do active scan Select this option whenever the AP (or client, for ad hoc mode) is not broadcasting its SSID.

You enter that key in the Key field below.Use key to authenticate with AP Select this option if your network does not support 802.1x authentication and you need to con-nect to the AP without username and password authentication. The key entered below is used to authenticate instead.
Dolphin® 7900 Series User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (e) 9 - 23WPA Settings TabField DescriptionWPA Mode This drop-down list contains the following options:•Disabled - Do not enable WPA mode. This is the default selection.•WPA 802.1x - Enable WPA and obtain key information through the 802.1x protocol. •WPA PSK - Enable WPA with Pre-Shared Key (PSK) information entered in the field below. This mode is used if the 802.1x protocol is not being used for authentication.PSK pass-phrase This field activates if you select WPA PSK in the WPA Mode drop-down list.Enter a Hexadecimal value that is 64 characters long. Asterisks appear as you type for increased security.LoggingThe event log is an ASCII text file named “LOG8021X.TXT” located in the directory defined by the WINDIR environment variable (usually the Windows directory). The information the log records is determined by the log settings on the System tab.The format of the entries is Time Stamp Message TextKey In this field, enter the WEP key. ASCII: 5 or 13 charactersHexadecimal: 10 or 26 characters.When the key entered is in the correct format, the screen changes to display the type - ASCII or Hexadecimal. Key Index/Transmit Key The Key Index drop-down list contains the available keys. You may enter up to four keys for reception; the Client will try all four to find one that works with the AP.From the drop-down list, select the key to be used for transmission as well. If the key selected is the transmit key, the Transmit key box is checked. To change the transmit key, select another key and check the Transmit key box. The check box of the original transmit key will be automatically de-selected. Field Description
9 - 24 Rev (e) Dolphin® 7900 Series User’s Guide–PreliminaryThe Refresh button at the bottom of the screen is used to update the log file while you are reading it. If the file gets too large, old entries are automatically deleted.If you wish to start with a blank file, exit from the Client (so the icon no longer appears at the lower right of the screen) and delete the log file (log8021x) in File Explorer; see Using Find on page 4-11. When you restart the Client, a new log file is created.Installing Certificates with CertAddCertificate RequirementsDuring configuration, you may have specified one or two certificates to use during the authentication process. The specified identity should match the Issued to field in the certificate and should be registered on the authentication server (i.e., RADIUS server) that is used by the authenticator. In addition, your certificate must be valid on the authentication server. This requirement depends on the authentication server and generally means that the authentication server must know the issuer of your certificate as a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). If the selected certificate does require a password or pass phrase to decode the private key, enter this value in the “Certificate Pass Phrase” field. This value will be encrypted when the configuration is saved. However, on some systems, there may not be a certificate. If that is the case, you can use the section below as a primer on OS X certificate management.About CertAddCertAdd is a standalone utility that allows certificates to be selected and installed on a Windows Mobile device. Installing CertificatesClient or CA certificates can be imported from *.cer (same as *.der), *.p7b, or *.pfx files.1. Download the certificate file to the My Documents folder. The location isn’t critical, although you may want to create a standard folder for consistency.2. Go to Start > Programs > Meetinghouse Certificate Installer. All valid certificate file types located in the My Documents folder appear in the list. 3. Tap and hold on a certificate in the list. A pop-up appears asking if you want to install the certificate.

Dolphin® 7900 Series User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (e) 11 - 111Wireless WAN (WWAN) Communications with GSM/GPRS OverviewDolphin terminals can be configured with a Siemens® GSM/GPRS quad-band radio module for Wireless WAN connectivity. GSM GSM stands for Global System for Mobile communications. It is an open, non-proprietary wireless wide area networking system that is constantly evolving and growing. One of its great strengths is international roaming capability, which provides standardized dialing in more than 170 countries. GPRS GPRS stands for General Packet Radio Service. It is a non-voice value added service that allows packet switched data and information to be instantly sent and received across a network.Enabling the GSM/GPRS Radio DriverWhen the mobile computer is first initialized, the radio driver for the GSM module is installed. Before using the radio, make sure that the GSM radio is enabled. For more information, see Radio Manager on page 4-5.GSM RadiosDolphin 7900 terminals can support an MC-45, MC-46, or MC-75 radio. MC-45 Radio Supports 900/1800/1900 MHz frequencies for use in Europe, Middle East, Asia and Australia. Dolphin terminals with an MC-45 radio have two-way voice and data communication.MC-46 Radio Supports 850/1800/1900 MHz frequencies for use in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America. Dolphin terminals with an MC-46 radio have two-way data communication only.MC-75 Radio Supports 850/900/1800/1900 MHz frequencies for use in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

You need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync. For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.During synchronization:
12 - 8 Rev (e) Dolphin® 7900 Series User’s Guide–Preliminary• Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on the terminal. By default, you will receive messages from the past three days only, the first 100 lines of each message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size.• E-mail messages in subfolders must be selected in ActiveSync on your desktop computer to be transferred.• E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on the terminal are transferred to Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those programs.Note: You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your desktop computer from a remote location. For more information, see Chapter 7.Connecting Directly to an E-mail ServerIn addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop computer, you can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server. When you connect the terminal to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the Inbox folder, messages in the Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the Inbox folder.Messages received directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a message on the terminal, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect the terminal to the e-mail server according to the settings selected in ActiveSync.You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on the terminal. When working offline, after you’ve downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete messages you’ve marked for retrieval and sends the messages you’ve composed.Receiving MessagesWhen you connect to your e-mail server or synchronize with your desktop computer, by default, you’ll receive messages from the last five days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size. The original messages remain on the e-mail server or your desktop computer. You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your next synchronization or e-mail server connection. In the message list, tap and hold the message you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap Mark for Download. The icons in the Inbox message list give you visual indications of message status.You specify your downloading preferences when you set up the service or select your synchronization options.

Dolphin® 7900 Series User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (e) 12 - 11Folder Behavior with a Direct Connection to an E-mail ServerThe behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4. ActiveSyncIf you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook on your desktop computer are automatically synchronized with the terminal. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read the messages while away from your desktop computer.SMSIf you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder. POP3If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the terminal and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see that the messages are missing from the terminal Inbox and delete them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the terminal. IMAP4If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from the terminal or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.

Dolphin® 7900 Series User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (e) 13 - 113Dolphin HomeBaseOverviewAs the hub of your Dolphin 7900 system, the Dolphin HomeBase charging and communication cradle supports both RS-232 and USB communications, enabling your terminal to interface with the majority of PC-based enterprise systems. CommunicationsRS-232 transmits data at speeds of up to 115 Kbps. With USB port, the data transmission rate goes up to 12 Mbps. Dolphin HomeBases cannot be physically connected to each other–sometimes referred to as “daisy-chaining”–but can be networked together via serial or USB hubs.Convenient Storage Intelligent battery charging makes the Dolphin HomeBase a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin terminal. CapacityThe Dolphin HomeBase can charge two battery packs: one that’s installed in the terminal and another in the auxiliary battery well. While charging the battery pack in the terminal, the HomeBase also powers the Dolphin terminal. The auxiliary battery well located behind the terminal well charges a battery pack independently of the terminal well. Intelligent Battery ChargingThe Dolphin HomeBase completes a full charge of the main battery pack in less than four hours. In addition to charging, the HomeBase powers the intelligent battery charging system in the terminal that protects the battery from being damaged by overcharging. The unit senses when a battery pack is fully charged and automatically switches to a trickle charge that maintains the battery at full capacity. As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the two-step charging process (CC-CV) that is recommended for Li-Ion batteries. The process monitors changes in temperature, current, and voltage.As a result, Dolphin terminals may be stored in the HomeBase without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or peripherals. Power SupplyThe Dolphin HomeBase is available with US, UK, and European power supplies. Each version is designed to convert that voltage from the power sources in each geography to the 9.5 volts DC required by the Dolphin terminal.Use only the peripherals, power cables, and power adapters from Hand Held Products. Use of peripherals, cables, or power adapters not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products will void the warranty and may damage the terminal.Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The use of any battery pack not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products in a Dolphin terminal will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal or battery.!!

Dolphin® 7900 Series User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (e) 16 - 116Dolphin QuadChargerOverviewThe Dolphin QuadCharger is a four-slot charging station that can charge a Li-ion battery in less than four hours. The fourth slot features a battery analyzer that completely resets and re-calibrates a battery and displays its resulting capacity.CompatibilityThe QuadCharger is compatible with the Li-ion batteries that power Dolphin 7900 Series terminals.Charging ProcessEach charging slot works independently of the other three. As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the two-step charging process (CC-CV) that is recommended for Li-Ion batteries. The process monitors changes in temperature, current, and voltage. The charger also resets and calibrates battery pack data to accurately show battery status on the Dolphin display.Use only the peripherals, power cables, and power adapters from Hand Held Products. Use of peripherals, cables, or power adapters not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products will void the warranty and may damage the terminal. Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The use of any battery pack not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products in a Dolphin terminal will void your warranty and may result in damage to the Dolphin terminal or battery.Dolphin QuadCharger Parts and FunctionsFront Panel OSLOT 4BATTERYCAPACITY100%0%ANALYZECHARGE/ANALYZE1234Charging SlotsStatus LEDsCharge/Battery Capacity Indicator LEDsAnalyze ButtonCharging SlotsThe QuadCharger contains four charging slots.

16 - 4 Rev (e) Dolphin® 7900 Series User’s Guide–PreliminaryUsing the Battery Analyzer PurposeUsing the Charge/Analyze slot helps you monitor the charge capacity of Li-ion batteries over time. The LEDs in this slot provides a readout of the battery’s capacity after a complete discharge and full charge. They tell you the maximum charge level the battery can hold. LocationThe battery analyzer is located in the fourth slot of the ChargeBase. Only batteries in this slot can be analyzed.Analyze CycleThe Analyze cycle is initiated when a battery is placed in the Charge/Analyze slot and the ANALYZE button is pressed. In an Analyze cycle, batteries are completely discharged, then recharged to capacity, as well as completely reset and re-calibrated. The length of time it takes for a battery to complete the Analyze cycle varies depends on initial state of the battery’s charge. Minimum time is 8 hours, maximum time is 12 hours.Battery Capacity Indicator LEDsThe Battery Capacity Indicator LEDs are located along the right side of the Charge/Analyze slot. These LEDs display the capacity of the battery at the end of the Analyze cycle. Battery capacity is displayed as a percentage of measured capacity/rated capacity. Each LED equates to 10% battery capacity. Status LEDThe Charge/Analyze slot also contains a standard status LED in the upper, left corner of the slot. When this slot is used for regular charging, this LED operates in the usual manner; see Status LEDs on page 16-2..When this slot is being used to analyze a battery, the status LED functions as follows:Status LED color Indicates that the battery in the slot…Solid Green Has completed the Analyze cycle. Flashing Orange Is being analyzed. Solid Red Encountered an error during the Analyze cycle.To Analyze a BatteryComplete these steps:1. Insert the battery into the Charge/Analyze slot (the fourth).2. Press the ANALYZE button. The Status LED flashes orange to indicate that the analyzing cycle has begun.3. Upon completion of the Analyze cycle, the Status LED lights solid green, and the Battery Capacity Indicator LEDs display the battery’s capacity.The Dolphin QuadCharger is accumulating battery pack information during the entire Analyze cycle. Do NOT remove the battery until the cycle has been completed. !
Dolphin® 7900 Series User’s Guide–Preliminary Rev (e) 16 - 5Mounting the QuadChargerThe Dolphin QuadCharger should be on a dry, stable surface. To easily adapt the QuadCharger to your environment, it can be mounted on a flat, horizontal surface such as a desktop or workbench, or a flat, vertical surface such as a wall. When choosing a location, always bear in mind that • the mounting location must allow users easy access to power switch and power connector.• the QuadCharger should be oriented so that users can easily insert and remove battery packs and read the labels, especially for the Battery Analyzer.Using the DIN RailMost Dolphin peripherals have a DIN Rail (7.5 high X 35 wide mm) slot on the bottom panel to enable secure mounting. To mount the Dolphin QuadCharger, you slide the DIN Rail into the slot on the bottom panel. Then, using the appropriate nuts and bolts, secure the DIN rail to the desk or wall.
